I've had that happen, and I don't like it either. I figure each thread should be considered a new space, until someone chooses to enter it and engage in a debate.
Recently, someone called me by the name of another member here, apparently in a derogatory way. Presumably, this other member is looked down on and considered an outsider, and the idea was that the one insulting me was trying to put me in the same box. That's pretty shitty on two levels, in my opinion.
And it's not like the other person was deep in the debate, and we were joined together in agreement over some point. So far as I can tell, it was purely meant to dig up that person's name and shit on it while also showing what was thought of me.
Overall, I have to say that a lot of humanity is lost in the name of liberty around here. Personally, I don't think calling each other pieces of shit and so on should be tolerated. I've noticed that non-atheists in particular are often openly abused-- I mean, things that may not even be considered legal if said out in the open-- and that's not okay.
